Clitoral reduction by ventral approach

Nerve sparing ventral clitoroplasty: analysis of clitoral sensitivity and viability.

PURPOSE Enlargement of the clitoris is often a prominent manifestation of virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia and other disorders of sexual development. Controversy persists regarding the viability and sensitivity of the clitoris following clitoroplasty. We present 51 consecutive cases of nerve sparing ventral clitoroplasty performed by a single surgeon. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nerve spar...

Clitoral enlargement secondary to neurofibromatosis.

Postoperative clitoral hood deformity after labiaplasty.

Aesthetics of the female genitalia have come under increasing scrutiny with the popularity of Brazilian waxing trends and media promotion of sheer fashions. Women seek to have a clean and youthful appearance of the vaginal region, with minimal if any labial minora show beyond the labia majora.

Their conclusions are reached because (1) in comparison to mal...

An Approach for Operation Depth Reduction of an Underwater Glider Propelled by Ocean Thermal Energy

The underwater Gliders are a kind of autonomous vehicles that have a special role in ocean surveys which demand continuous monitoring and long endurance. Because of low energy consumption and long endurance, these vehicles are favorite for these missions. Among this, a type of gliders can harvest ocean thermal energy, causing significant endurance increase. These vehicles need at least 680 mete...
